TOUR DETAILS
A trip of a lifetime on skis, snowmobiling and dog sledding, in Canada’s far north Yukon, in a wild mountainous boreal landscape.
Meet with a family who truly love their land and live an authentic Yukon life style in their cabin, off-grid.
This land of adventure was described by multiple authors like Jack London with his novels “The Call of the Forest” and “White-Fang”. Today, you can enjoy traveling across these wild and quiet areas with your family. It is in this wild environment that we offer a wonderful adventure!
Starting from a log cabin in the countryside near Whitehorse, families take off with our local guides for an immersion in the pristine and endless boreal forest, unexplored valleys, untouched mountains and frozen lakes. At this stage, you will experience first hand what true “Wilderness” is.
During the activities, the guides will show you the beauty of this land explaining the northern environment to you and pointing to animals and tracks.

Our team
Passionated, knowlegeable, experienced guides and parents of a little girl. In addition to guiding experience, Raphaelle is a cross-country, downhill and touring ski certified instructor. Fabien is a Canadian ski patrol and was a professional musher and sleddog racer until recently. Both guides have their Wilderness Advanced First Aid.
The groups are very small, 2 to 5 participants to allow for an immersive experience, an intimate connection with nature and with a low environmental impact.
Low carbon footprint
The expedition is a loop that starts and finishes at our log cabin. The only trip by car is a short shuttle to town.
The heavy equipment (canvas tent, wood stove, food) is transported by dog team. We do not use motorized vehicles for re-supplying.
Into the wild
Very high chances to observe northern wildlife (Moose, Caribous, Wolves, Lynx, Coyotes, Eagles) and Northern Lights
You might hear the dogs howling back to the wolves at camp. If interested you will have a chance to try out ski-joring (skiing pulled by a dog) on a frozen lake.
The itinerary of the expedition is unprecedented, the immersion in the true wilderness is striking. We might not even see anyone else on the trail.
